not necessarily. there are a large number of reliable outside contract programmers that especially if you pay them a monthly retainer are very reliable.
myself and my team are always available and have been for many years.
I can get more work done sitting at home for 3 hours than i can in an office environment for 8. For most programming work, gathering the specs may take some back and forth, but the actual work is best left to letting the programmer focus his attention and get the job done.
